Once it was filled with beer bongs and pictures of hot co-eds. Now... naked male ass. <BR/><BR/>No streaking video or any video of a fan running onto the field is better then when the fan took the ball from Brett Favre. That was a classic moment for drunken fans everywhere. Very sad at his retirement but also very proud in a way not unlike pride over you're child achieving something great. The man was a great athlete and an even better role model and citizen of the game. I can't wait for his induction so I can be onhand to honor him.Bigasshammmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00986942576242777736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17480875.post-1215484752012269832008-03-07T00:53:00.000-05:002008-03-07T00:53:00.000-05:00My favorite part of the stadium article is this li...My favorite part of the stadium article is this line:<BR/><BR/>"And thanks to the architects at HNTB and the remarkable capabilities of computers, the Athletic Department is able to offer a preview of how Michigan Stadium will look when September rolls around."<BR/><BR/>It makes it sound like computers are amazing!

It is not true that the English invented cricket as a way of making all other human endeavors look interesting and lively; that was merely an unintended side effect. I don't wish to denigrate a sport that is enjoyed by millions, some of them awake and facing the right way, but it is an odd game. It is the only sport that incorporates meal breaks. It is the only sport that shares its name with an insect. It is the only sport in which spectators burn as many calories as players -- more if they are moderately restless. It is the only competitive activity of any type, other than perhaps baking, in which you can dress in white from head to toe and be as clean at the end of the day as you were at the beginning.<BR/><BR/>Imagine a form of baseball in which the pitcher, after each delivery, collects the ball from the catcher and walks slowly with it to center field; and that there, after a minute's pause to collect himself, he turns and runs full tilt toward the pitcher's mound before hurling the ball at the ankles of a man who stands before him wearing a riding hat, heavy gloves of the sort used to to handle radio-active isotopes, and a mattress strapped to each leg. Imagine moreover that if this batsman fails to hit the ball in a way that heartens him sufficiently to try to waddle forty feet with mattress's strapped to his legs, he is under no formal compunction to run; he may stand there all day, and, as a rule, does. If by some miracle he is coaxed into making a misstroke that leads to his being put out, all the fielders throw up their arms in triumph and have a hug. Then tea is called and every one retires happily to a distant pavilion to fortify for the next siege. Now imagine all this going on for so long that by the time the match concludes autumn has crept in and all your library books are overdue. There you have cricket.<BR/><BR/>The mystery of cricket is not that Australians play it well, but that they play it at all. It has always seemed to me a game much too restrained for the rough-and-tumble Australian temperament. Australians much prefer games in which brawny men in scanty clothing bloody each other's noses. I am quite certain that if the rest of the world vanished over night and the development of cricket was left in Australian hands, within a generation the players would be wearing shorts and using the bats to hit each other. And the thing is, it would be a much better game for it."beast in 'bamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07562281321749885044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17480875.post-75148279787578920372008-03-06T18:35:00.000-05:002008-03-06T18:35:00.000-05:00He should have used the bat.
